Wow Wren, you have done soooooo well. I have been a professional dieter for years. LOL And I was an RN before going on disability. So I knew about the water intoxication. I've heard not to go over a gal. I am not sure how many oz that is. I am like you I can put some water away in the summer time. I know we use the potassium in the salt to prevent leg cramps. They also have a potassium pill you can get over the counter. You might want to ask the doc if you can take one of those.

How tall are you. I am 5' 2'' I know that at 150 I look pretty dang good, usually can were a size 12 sometimes even lower. So that is what I am shooting for. I am close to your age at 59, will be 60 in June. Our metablolism and set point is probably different. So I think you have done great, I know you have to feel so much better. I can't wait. I lost down to around 135 a while back but it was so hard to do. I will have to see how I feel at 150. I can keep going but I will have to buy more lite bars etc. etc. I'll bet your blood pressure is better.

I look back at my pictures when I was 128 to 132 and thought I was fat when I was in my late 20s, if I had only known to stop trying to get lower. My body was comfortable at 132 but I was never satisfied. I am very proud of you.

Hi - GOOD MORNING!

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Ya'll are surprising me about the water. I didnt' know it could leech that many nutrients and potassium from you to make you sick. WOW.

I drink a ton so I think I will be a little more careful and measure out like you do.
Don't want to actually "overdrink" by that much.

Good info to know. So have a great day and hope all goes well.
See ya Karen

Wow Wren, I am sorry you have a center that does not care. I mean they like ring a bell and jump up and down when you lose at mine :-) The only problem I have had was with a little misinfo and she really, really meant well. She is really nice and friendly and encouraging. Sooooo I don't fault her for not knowing everything, she is learning too. I will certainly pass along any good info I get in case others have centers that don't help that much.

hey, wren. sorry about the problems while snow shoeing. you definitely need to be careful about over-doing it. glad you are taking your doc's advice and watching the water, too.

yes, we had a great day with ds yesterday. party at daycare then a lovely family time at home after that. in fact, he loved it so much he didn't want the celebrations to end. this morning he wanted cake complete with icing, sprinkles & candles *again!* and guess what? i let him have it. i want him to remember birthdays as a very, very special time. :-)

hi wren

just thought i would check in and see how you are.

not sure what is going on with the board tonight. it is acting weird.

take it easy out there walking. the snow is heavy and harder to get thru. can't belive the heat wave we are having nice before the snow starts again tomorrow. i heard 2-4 inches possible.

have a great night.
